Wasabi Aioli Sauce

Wasabi Aioli Sauce by Maher Hazine

I call this Japanese Gravy. It goes well with fish but can be used on poultry, pork, lamb, as well as beef (only good cuts of meat) . You can use this as a vegetable dip (however, make it a little thicker) The Wasabi gives you the spice that we all seem to enjoy but not the lingering heat that takes away from our ability to taste the…

Okinawan Sweet Fritters

Okinawan Sweet Fritters by Tamara Daugherty

I grew up loving this delicate treat, both from the market in Okinawa (watching elderly women fry these up in giant cast iron pots) and made at home by my "Oba-ason" (Okinawan grandmother)". I use to wait for these little doughnuts to float on top in her pot over a wood-fed fire. (we never had a stove). Similar to the American version…

Harusame Salad

Harusame Salad by Suzi

I can't recall the name of the restaurant but I do recall their Harusame Salad. Crispy fried rice sticks with purple cabbage, carrots, scallions and bean sprouts. The dressing was a Kimchi sauce.

Lotus roots, when new and fresh, should be prized for their great natural taste. They can even be eaten almost raw after a little marinating. The Japanese have a simple and delicate way to prepare them with umeboshi/Japanese pickled plums, which should please vegans and vegetarians (and omnivores). It certainly makes for a great snack…

Pan Grilled Tofu with Miso Glaze

Pan Grilled Tofu with Miso Glaze by John Spottiswood

This is an outstanding and pretty appetizer to serve before any asian meal. Our kids, who are somewhat indifferent to tofu, gobbled these up. They are slightly sweet and salty, with enough additional flavor to be interesting. I made these along with a tried and true teriyaki chicken recipe, which I grilled to perfection, and I…
